A German Post Exchange at Kandahar Airfield reports, that Zombie Hunter patches are continually sold out.

Is Afghanistan really a 'graveyard of empires?'

Afghanistan's rugged terrain, climate and impregnable clan loyalties have not changed between modern and past military operations. The campaigns of Alexander the Great, the British in the era of Kipling, and the late Soviet Union were unable to win Afghanistan. The greatest massacre of British soldiers in the history of the British empire happened in Afghanistan.

The world's great armies all eventually ran into trouble in their encounters with the unruly Afghan tribals or maybe the zombies. Zombies represent a force not unlike the Taliban. A foe with inscrutable motives that doesn't seem to need to eat or sleep, and no matter how many you kill…they pursue the living with implacable determination.

Killing zombies requires a decapitating or skull-crushing blow. Destroying the brain is the most common way of killing zombies. Destroy the brain… bottom line. Traditionally, the best tool for this is a shotgun with buckshot.

Special operation Zombie Hunter teams are taking the fight to within feet by using shotguns that provide the fire power to exterminate. This brings a new meaning to “One Shot, One Kill”. Teams are being outfitted with Saiga-12 Kalashnikov-pattern semi-automatic 12 gauge combat shotguns, Hornady Zombie Max Shotgun Ammo and BCS Saiga-12 chest rigs to support over 40 rounds of decapitating fire power.

BCS Entry Tool Tac Pack

With all the noise about the ALICE frame's immortal life flying around. We wanted to show how we modified the ALICE frame to support entry tools. The Entry Tool Tac Pack were designed for entry teams that wanted a way to carry the tools on a solid frame. Most entry tools are carried with a soft pack and that would just not cut it. The frame is modified with aluminium channel on each side to hold the sledge and axe/spike tool.

Simply put, this frame just won't go away.

The Entry Tool Tac Pack is still available by request. The Entry Tool Tac Pack panel can also be modified with molle or different tool pockets.

If you are an entry team and are tired of the soft entry tool packs give us a call.

We are now using A-TACS AU/FG webbing on all of our A-TACS gear.  Here are a few pics of our AK47 chest rig in A-TACS FG.

X-harness fans, you are going to like our new idea. Take a look at the X-harness!. It has our new X-stabilizer system.

What does the X-stabilizer do?
- Maintains the X shoulder strap shape for easy dawning.
- Helps prevent X straps from getting twisted.
- Equalizes and stabilizes the X straps automatically on the back.
- Helps prevent X strap creep up the neck.

Another example of KISS (Keep it simple stupid)idea.

Here are a few pics of Ken Hackathorn one of the world's foremost authorities on the subject of the tactical deployment of small arms, primarily handguns and sub machine guns using our AK 47 chest rig .

Ken provided valueable recommendations during the prototype testing of the rig.

Ken Hackathorn has served as a US Army Special Forces Small Arms Instructor, Gunsite Instructor, and NRA Police Firearms Instructor. He is currently an FBI Certified Firearms Instructor, Certified Deputy Sheriff with Washington County SO, Ohio, and a SRT member and Special Response Team trainer. Ken has trained US Military Special Operations forces, Marine FAST and SOTG units and is a contract small arms trainer to FBI SWAT and HRT.

Ken has provided training to Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies and been active in small arms training for the past 25 years. He has written firearms related material for Guns & Ammo, Combat Handguns, Soldier Of Fortune, and currently American Handgunner and contributed to at least six other gun/shooting journals. Ken was also a founding member of IPSC and IDPA.

The AK 47 chest rig has received more than positive feedback back from Ken. This chest rig really has changed the way AK 47 mags are carried.

We have worked hard to make the most modern AK 47 chest rig for the American AK shooter in a 4,5,6 and 7 mag version available. This rig is very cost effective and has multiple configuration options: two harness styles, two lat strap styles (pull-forward or standard) and multiple colors – Multicam, A-TACS AU/FG, Coyote, Ranger Green, Khaki, and Black. You really can’t go wrong with this rig.

            
After extensive prototype testing the 762 chest rig is now available. Based upon our popular low profile chest rig design there is now a cost effective 762/308 chest rig that will support 7.62 NATO or .308 bullets for 20 round 308 PMAGS/M14/M1A style mags.

We were able to maintain the three rows of molle across the expanse of the rig to provide for maximum modularity and flexibility for the operator. The over sized pull-tab/elastic mag retention system provides for a secure yet rapid and silent access to the mags. The 762 chest rig is available in a 4 mag or 5 mag configuration to provide load options. The low profile design is an ideal and discreet alternative to a full size chest rig or tactical vest giving the operator tremendous versatility.

The 2” flat webbing shoulder strap H-harness provides plenty of support and does not interfere with the shouldering of the weapon. The harness provides for plenty of adjustment for use with body armor, outer garments and accommodates most body sizes. The quick release buckles provide easy adjustment. A full length pocket allows for easy access and the storage of additional items.

The 762 chest rig is made with 1000D cordura, Mil-spec webbing, thread and hook/loop. Best of all, made 100% in the USA by a company that cares. Multiple color options are available: Multicam, A-TACS AU/FG, Coyote, Ranger Green, Khaki and Black.

If you have been looking for a streamline, low profile and scalable 762 chest rig this is it. This rig is now available, so why wait!!
